CLUB HEXAGON III

Premiere: Pépé Elle - Sink [[re]sources]

We've been off the radar longer than we expected, but we are back with this heavy hitter. This month’s installment in the MEFD series is brought to us by OSH.

Gentle synth layers that tickle your ears and clinically executed drum work make for a huge track that does not hold back. With a massive bassline and smatterings of that iconic acid 303, this belter will be getting you dancing wherever you are.

As always party people, big love for the support. Hopefully, we’ll see you on the dance floor soon!

Welcoming Joe Koshin to the Time Is Now family with a release of two halves. Delirium EP takes us on a whiplash journey through the contemporary iterations of breakbeat hardcore before slowing down the pace and stationing in UKG’s shadier corners.

With previous releases on Planetaria Music and Gimme A Break Records, Joe Koshin has been making some serious waves with his no-prisoner approach to breaks and jungle. Delirium EP sees the London producer continue in this vein with two raucous breakbeat hardcore tracks, and two dark garage tracks which boast the style’s potential to be at once introspective and club-ready. 

‘Chunk’ slams things into action. And if you thought the clattering drum breaks and growling low-ends couldn’t do more to rip open a dancefloor, just wait for the switch-up. Stutters that Sully would be proud of. The title track grounds itself firmly in the genre’s antecedents: breakbeat which is at once gloriously old-skool and fiercely forward-facing. Flip to the B side and it is configurations of dark garage that take to the fore: first adorned with a hypnotic melody that floats above pitched-up vocals (‘T4LK 2 M3’), and later energised by a buoyant swing which implores you to move (‘Spectra Don’).

Delirium EP drops 29th April via Time Is Now.

Casting a self-reflexive lens over his roots via the medium of crushing, future-rushing soundsystem sonics, Low End Activist returns to Sneaker Social Club with a full-length of monumental proportions.

When the Low End Activism 12” ignited on Sneaker in 2019, it paid tribute to the Blackbird Leys estate in Oxford, UK, where LEA originates from. In the shadow of social inequality and strengthened by the unity of the multi-ethnic community, Blackbird Leys still imposes a powerful influence on LEA’s work, even as he’s stepped out onto Seagrave for last year’s Game Theory album and notched up the first couple of releases on his own self-titled label.

On this new album, Hostile Utopia sums up the conflicting emotions attached to memories of home – how it’s possible to feel nostalgic for the griminess of urban and suburban Britain, its ordinary tales of bitterness and frustration, but also its intrinsic passion and solidarity. At a time when social division is actively engineered by Machiavellian forces, real conviviality at street level feels like an impossible dream.

LEA communicates these tensions through a style which is becoming his signature – dynamic bass torsion and chiseled, fractalised rhythms slugging around the 130 mark. It’s moody like a UK-themed record ought to be, but it’s not morose. There’s fierceness in every snap and rumble, as the legacies of hardcore, jungle, dubstep and grime pour into the casing prior to the gunpowder lighting.

On previous LEA releases, the MC roll call has pointed to some of the most vital voices touching the mic in the present day. Flowdan, Sikka Rymes and Trim all had something different to impart over the riddims, and now Hostile Utopia expands on that with the most extensive show of lyrical strength yet. Mez lights up the woozy, abstract grime swerve of ‘Mercenary’ in a musical style. Emz brings a ruthlessly sharp verbal steez to ‘GetGet’, Killa P gets busy toasting over ‘DFRNT STYLE’ and ‘Superhighway’ carries the dexterous hip-hop flow of Cadence Weapon.

In between those standout tracks, LEA expresses just as much in the production. Tracks brimming with stories to impart, laden with symbols masquerading as samples and draped in aural garb that firmly places Hostile Utopia in a place, a mood, that could only belong to the UK. It’s a hybrid sound just like the society it sprang from, and therein lies its power.

Denham Audio is set to release his brand new EP Thirty Eight Snub, his solo debut on his Club Glow label.

The London-based artist, alongside his label co-owners Mani Festo, Borai & LMajor, have been lighting up the scene with their raucous, bass and breaks heavy productions for a number of years now.

This new EP follows the same trend with four new rough and ready tracks riding a breakbeat jungle tip all delivered in masterfully ice cold fashion and includes Grime legend and MC Trim featuring on the title track.

Today we excitedly premiere B1 from the EP U Give Me, which explodes out the speakers with its relentless bassline, rolling breaks and sing-a-long vocals. Big f***ing tune!

Thirty Eight Snub is out 19th August. Buy here > https://clubglow.bandcamp.com/album/thirty-eight-snub
